NEW DELHI: In the midst of ongoing crisis, AAP has called a national executive meeting on March 4 and may take a decision on the future of Yogendra Yadav and Prashant Bhushan.

The rift in AAP seems to have widened further on Monday with senior leaders taking to social media to air their differing views on the ongoing crisis in the party.


In a series of tweets, Yogendra Yadav hit out at those who were floating conspiracy theories targeting him and senior leader Prashant Bhushan.


"For the last two days we have been reading reports about allegations and conspiracy theories against me and Prashant Bhushan. All these reports are imaginary and baseless. But, I feel sad at the motive behind these attempts," Yogendra Yadav tweeted.

This was followed by a series of tweets from Ashutosh, who claimed that there was a decisive churning in the party.


"It's clash of ideas between ultra left who demand referendum in Kashmir and pragmatic politics of welfarism. Churning in AAP is not a clash of personalities but of ideas. This will make way for future politics of AAP. This is my personal view," Ashutosh said.


Amid all these, AAP co-convenor Durgesh Pathak alleged that Prashant Bhushan and Yogendra Yadav wanted the party to lose in Delhi polls so that Arvind Kejriwal could be removed from the post of convenor.

"I was shocked to know that Prashant ji & Yogendra ji wanted us to lose Delhi poll," Delhi AAP co-convenor Durgesh Pathak told ANI in an interview.




The AAP is undergoing an internal crisis with Bhushan raising the issue of "one-person centric approach" in the party.

Some seven months back Yogendra Yadav had criticized Kejriwal of falling prey to "personality cult".


In a letter to members of AAP national executive which met last Thursday, Bhushan wrote, "...one person-centric campaign, which was run during Delhi elections, is making our party look more and more like other conventional parties that are also one-person centric. The only difference being that we still claim that we are wedded to the principles of 'swaraj' while they don't. Running one person-centric campaign may be effective, but does that justify sacrificing our principles? We will need to make a conscious course correction if we have to get away from a supremo controlled party"
